Size Question

Hello.

I'm 18 years old, and have a relatively small size of 5'10 and 155 lbs.

I was wondering, at my current age, am I pretty much "stuck" where I am through the rest of my life? Or will I be bigger in a few years? I was told that humans go through a second "growth spurt" at around 20. I hear genetics play a lot into it as well. My father (before he died 6 years ago) was also 5'10 but much heftier (around 210 pounds).

I ask because I'd like to one day check out judo and get good with that. Small guys usually don't fare well in that art.

The only formal training I've had was boxing and a dabbling in jukite (pretty local martial art if you ask me...some kind of hybrid of ju-jitsu, aikido and karate).

I got the "you must be big" impression from 2 sources:
1 - Dakotajudo's avatar (kidding on this one)
2 - The fact that everytime I see a midget engage in body grappling, they can their ass served on a platter. Not a silver platter either, a GOLDEN one.

You consider yourself a midget at 5-10" 155lbs?

**** off nOoB. Either your trolling or looking for pity. Buck up, take a grappling MA and start boxing again. Take your ass to the gym while your at it.

Almost forgot... stop being a *****.

Combat sports usually have weight classes so you can test and develop what you do without 'OMG heez huge!' getting in the way. Just pick something you like.
